You'll also find specific, press release template-related tips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"eye-catching-headline\"><strong>Eye-catching headline<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, when we talk about press release headlines, it's all about words and getting the right idea through. And that's a huge topic - we even published a<a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/press-release-headline\/\"> guide on how to write a great press release headline<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, once the words are on point, the visual design enters the scene. And it helps you hook journalists. Even the smartest headline won't work if it's not noticeable, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make your press release headline visible, you can use several means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>colors and contrast<\/li><li>different fonts and styling<\/li><li>visible separation from other press release elements<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2024\/02\/How-to-design-a-press-release-1-1024x746.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25900\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.divert.co.uk\/bin-your-ex-partner-for-good-and-get-free-prosecco-this-valentines-day\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>See the sample press release<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let's analyze an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.divert.co.uk\/bin-your-ex-partner-for-good-and-get-free-prosecco-this-valentines-day\/\">example from Divert.co.uk<\/a> - a rubbish removal company that launched a special Valentine's Day-themed trash removal service. In short, if you call them to collect the stuff your ex left behind, you'll get chocolates and a bottle of Prosecco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their smart headline (and brilliant marketing idea) put on a colorful background to stand out from the rest of their press release. With color choice, styling (the huge font in bold) and separation, it's just impossible to skip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49<strong>For your press release template<\/strong>: Not sure how to make your headline stand out? Seek clues in your branding information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"layout-and-formatting\"><strong>Layout and formatting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the<a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/how-to-write-press-release-guide\/\"> press release structure<\/a> is pretty rigid, there's still space for design decisions when it comes to layout and formatting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important rule? Match your audience's needs - even among journalists, they can differ from one industry to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let's take a look at an unobvious example - a<a href=\"https:\/\/mercedes-benz-archive.com\/marsF1\/en\/instance\/ko\/2023-Australian-Grand-Prix---Sunday.xhtml?oid=190333161&amp;ls=L2VuL2luc3RhbmNlL2tvLzIwMjMtUHJlc3MtUmVsZWFzZXMueGh0bWw_b2lkPTE5MDA0ODA5OCZyZWxJZD02MDgyOSZmcm9tT2lkPTE5MDA0ODA5OCZyZXN1bHRJbmZvVHlwZUlkPTQwNjI2JnZpZXdUeXBlPXRodW1icyZzb3J0RGVmaW5pdGlvbj1QVUJMSVNIRURfQVQtMiZ0aHVtYlNjYWxlSW5kZXg9MSZyb3dDb3VudHNJbmRleD01JmZyb21JbmZvVHlwZUlkPTQwNjI4&amp;rs=34\"> sports press release coming from the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team<\/a> after securing a podium in the 2023 Australian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2024\/02\/How-to-design-press-release-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25901\"\/><figcaption><em><a href=\"https:\/\/mercedes-benz-archive.com\/marsF1\/en\/instance\/ko\/2023-Australian-Grand-Prix---Sunday.xhtml?oid=190333161&amp;ls=L2VuL2luc3RhbmNlL2tvLzIwMjMtUHJlc3MtUmVsZWFzZXMueGh0bWw_b2lkPTE5MDA0ODA5OCZyZWxJZD02MDgyOSZmcm9tT2lkPTE5MDA0ODA5OCZyZXN1bHRJbmZvVHlwZUlkPTQwNjI2JnZpZXdUeXBlPXRodW1icyZzb3J0RGVmaW5pdGlvbj1QVUJMSVNIRURfQVQtMiZ0aHVtYlNjYWxlSW5kZXg9MSZyb3dDb3VudHNJbmRleD01JmZyb21JbmZvVHlwZUlkPTQwNjI4&amp;rs=34\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mercedes-benz-archive.com\/marsF1\/en\/instance\/ko\/2023-Australian-Grand-Prix---Sunday.xhtml?oid=190333161&amp;ls=L2VuL2luc3RhbmNlL2tvLzIwMjMtUHJlc3MtUmVsZWFzZXMueGh0bWw_b2lkPTE5MDA0ODA5OCZyZWxJZD02MDgyOSZmcm9tT2lkPTE5MDA0ODA5OCZyZXN1bHRJbmZvVHlwZUlkPTQwNjI2JnZpZXdUeXBlPXRodW1icyZzb3J0RGVmaW5pdGlvbj1QVUJMSVNIRURfQVQtMiZ0aHVtYlNjYWxlSW5kZXg9MSZyb3dDb3VudHNJbmRleD01JmZyb21JbmZvVHlwZUlkPTQwNjI4&amp;rs=34\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Source<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as you read through the press release, you'll notice a different choice of structure. The Mercedes team's PR department opted for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>a quick recap of the race in bullet points<\/li><li>a clear table with team results<\/li><li>a few high-quality photos for editorial use<\/li><li>and statements from the athletes and engineering team<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"purplebox\">There are no long paragraphs nor lengthy intros because sports journalists need succinct, transparent news. Also, the quotes are carefully phrased. Each sentence makes a tweet in itself, letting the speaker's personality shine through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It's a perfect example of design decisions and each of them works for the press release target group: sports journalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49<strong>For your press release template<\/strong>: If you deal with different target groups, create a tailored press release template for each of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"multimedia\"><strong>Multimedia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With online press releases, you can share so much more than just text and <a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/can-a-press-release-have-pictures\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/can-a-press-release-have-pictures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">images<\/a> - use this potential. A press release that's full of multimedia content grants more possibilities to journalists to create an engaging story. Naturally, it gets more attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"purplebox\">Think about multimedia when crafting the press release design. Infographics, videos, or photos can tell a part of the story and provide richer context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of multimedia-rich press release design, LEGO definitely hits the sweet spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2024\/02\/How-to-design-press-release-3-1024x804.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25902\"\/><figcaption><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lego.com\/en-us\/aboutus\/news\/2023\/september\/-play-is-your-superpower\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.lego.com\/en-us\/aboutus\/news\/2023\/september\/-play-is-your-superpower\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Source<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When sharing the details of their new brand film, they didn't limit the multimedia layer to the video.

When the press release gets shared, it keeps some of the branding elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, it may be easier to sneak your company logo in - for example, in a product launch press release (<a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/new-product-press-release-examples\/\">check out our guide on them!<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let's look at a more difficult example from Under Armour's<a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/new-hire-press-release-examples\/\"> new hire press release<\/a> - talking about their new CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2024\/02\/How-to-design-press-release-4-1024x816.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25903\"\/><figcaption><em><a href=\"https:\/\/about.underarmour.com\/en\/stories\/2022\/12\/under-armour-announces-stephanie-linnartz-as-president-and-ceo.html\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/about.underarmour.com\/en\/stories\/2022\/12\/under-armour-announces-stephanie-linnartz-as-president-and-ceo.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Source<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The team perfectly covers the basic layers of branding in their press release design.

Stephanie Linnartz, the new CEO, is photographed in a business-like, official style, yet - she's wearing an Under Armour hoodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That's a smart way to highlight your branding in less obvious types of press releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49<strong>For your press release template<\/strong>: List all useful elements of branding that may come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mobile-optimization\"><strong>Mobile optimization<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is nothing new: your press releases have to look as nice on mobile as they do on the desktop. And there are two main issues that journalists can face when reading your press release on mobile:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>less stable internet connection<\/li><li>an interface that looks weird on a smaller screen<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you won't be able to overcome these challenges entirely. But still, some design decisions that are on your plate impact the readers' mobile experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The size of the images you use matters when the connection isn't stable. The less data your readers have to download, the faster they can see the content. Also, for the worst-case scenario, make sure you add alternative texts. We'll cover them in the Accessibility section of this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before <a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/how-to-send-a-press-release-by-email\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/how-to-send-a-press-release-by-email\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sending your press release<\/a>, check how it looks on mobile screens (ideally, a few!). You can do it right from your desktop browser - take a look at this handy guide on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.browserstack.com\/guide\/view-mobile-version-of-website-on-chrome\"> BrowserStack<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be cautious, especially if you add images with text on them, as they can be cut or the text might be illegible.The easiest way to ensure all design details are taken care of is by using the right tools. For example,<a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/press-release-software\/\"> Prowly's Press Release Creator<\/a> automatically covers both desktop and mobile versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2024\/02\/How-to-design-press-release-5.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25904\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Prowly's Press Release Creator ensures you get a responsive, mobile-friendly design without the fuss of coding.
